The Guile: A Tor.com Original by Ian McDonald
My rating: 5/5 cats
“If it were me, I’d show that uppity machine what for.”
this story is simply too much fun. it’s a sci-fi artificial intelligence tale that borrows bits from the con/heist genre, and it’s also got magic and a healthy “take that, machines!” stance that i applaud.
it’s funny and surprising and i’m not gonna tell you how it was done, because – as this story’ll teach you – a little knowledge takes all the fun out of the world.
just a tiny review for a tiny story, but that gives you more time to go read it over at tor.com.
